Thanks for your patience in seeing the next home, everyone! I was down with the flu, big-time and my daughter got it too. It made me realize that I probably want to get a flu shot next year. There it is for the record- you heard it here.
6812 Joyce, 3 bed, 2 bath, 1706 sf, $469,000
This next house is a real gem. Green homes in Austin come in all shapes, sizes and ages. This one is a brand new, craftsman style, in a great close-in location. Utilizing in-fill, or building on a single lot to get a close location, is great green feature. It reduces sprawl, and allows a home-owner to be closer to the things they need- like the office downtown. The builder worked with a designer, and it really shows. The space has amazing flow and lots of light. When you walk in you can just see a glimpse of the living room (very nicely staged by the way), and then the sun filled dining room and back porch. It really draws you in. There are a number of thoughtful features- from the beadboard ceiling entrance, to the outdoor speakers on the back porch. This home got a 2 star rating from the City of Austin's green building program, and is located in a cool North Central Austin Neighborhood.
What else is great about this green home? The location of course. Allandale features easy access to shopping on Burnet road as well as being the center for the huge and popular Northwest Park. You are also just a hop, skip and jump to the Sun Harvest food store, coffee shops and the Alamo Drafthouse (I am a big fan!) all up on Anderson Lane. Did you also know that you can bike along the shoal creek greenbelt all the way to downtown? I have not ridden it myself, but it's on the list. Have any of you done this ride?
